WelcomeWelcome to Bloxwich Golf Club, where you can enjoy the best of both worlds - the peace and tranquillity of a rural club yet set in an easily-accessible location.

Leave our first tee and you will be transported into the heart of arable Staffordshire countryside on our undulating semi-parkland course. You will find it hard to believe you are but a few miles from the M6 and adjacent to the A34 when the only noises you hear are songbirds in summer and the occasional tractor.

Situated on the northern edge of the Black Country, Bloxwich Golf Club is a well-established members’ club founded in 1924. We offer

excellent facilities and traditions you would expect from one of the premier clubs in the area. We are dedicated to providing the best for our members and are also a popular destination for visitors and golfing societies.

From breakfast to evening meal, food is available throughout the day, and our well stocked bar is open between 11am and 11pm (or beyond by request).

A warm Black Country welcome awaits you from all of the staff here at Bloxwich Golf Club. We look forward to making your visit a truly memorable one.

HistoryIn 1924 the club first opened its doors, with nine holes, 149 men, 108 ladies and 20 juniors. The original 96 acres bought for £55 in 1919 was soon expanded by 12 acres to create a full 18-hole course, and ‘The Field House’ was purchased for a clubhouse.

Designed in the main by Mr J Coburn, who trained under Tom Morris at St. Andrews, the course gained early accolades. The Walsall Observer of the time said: “From a sporting point of view the short (175-yard) 6th hole would take some beating.” It is currently the 15th hole and is still a daunting hole today.

In April 1925 Major RW Downs achieved the first hole-in-one, on the then 135-yard 4th - the present day 13th - and in 1937 H A (Peter) Squire was

the first member to break 70; the course record has since fallen to 63. Peter’s connection with Bloxwich Golf Club dates back to 1929, when he was nominated as a reserve for the England Boys International Team.

During the war years trenches were dug across the course to defend against gliders and paratroopers, with squaddies inhabiting tents on the 10th hole and officers taking advantage of the clubhouse. All were made Honorary Members for the duration.

In 1988 the members took ownership of the club with a payment of £90,000 to create Bloxwich Golf Club (1988) Ltd. Spacious new locker rooms and a new Professional shop were added as the club’s Millennium project, adding to the already superior golfing experience at Bloxwich.


The CourseA mature, undulating, parkland course of distinctive character, Bloxwich makes full use of its natural hazards to provide a testing round of golf and a real sense of achievement for players of all levels. The 18-hole course also boasts a practice pitching area, putting green, short chipping and bunker area, and nets to perfect both the long and short game.

Although not the longest Championship-length course in the area, at 6,296 yards off the white tees, 6,096 yards off the yellow tees, and 5,340 yards for ladies, Bloxwich is one of the most challenging and rewarding. The Standard Scratch Score of 71 matches the par for the course, an indication that it is no pushover.

Always looking for further ways to enhance the golfing experience for members and visitors, further improvements made in 2011 now mean that the final hole has become one of the toughest on the course, with the added pressure of finishing up right in front of the clubhouse!

Unusually, Bloxwich has five par 3s, so there is no shortage of holes to choose for nearest the pin competitions. There are also four par 5s, three of which are encountered on the front nine, though undoubtedly its most demanding holes are its par fours. The 455-yard closing hole features a drive over water against the prevailing westerly winds before gradually rising up to the green and is certainly not a hole on which you will feel safe on the tee if you are protecting a lead in


matchplay. The 458-yard 12th, meanwhile, with water hazards threatening the drive and approach shots, poses another formidable challenge.

Bloxwich is open for play almost all year round, only closing due to exceptional weather conditions. Thanks to the work of the greenstaff over the last few years, main greens are in play for the majority of the time, and trolleys are rarely excluded. We appreciate this is an important consideration for all our visitors and members alike, and we work hard to maintain these high standards.

To ensure the enjoyment of the course for all, we ask all golfers to avoid slow play. To this end, we

encourage players to keep up with the group in front, not just in front of the group behind, and to play in maximum groupings of threewherever possible.

Take the Course TourIf you have never played Bloxwich before you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls that lie in wait and how to avoid them as you follow our course tour courtesy of Richard Dance, our PGA Professional.

Hole 1, 295 yards, par 4 - A tee shot to the centre of the fairway leaves a short approach and a birdie opportunity.

Hole 2, 507 yards, par 5 - The decision for most on this hole is whether to lay up short of the cross bunker with the second shot or take it on. Beware the ditch along the tree line to the right near the green.

Hole 3, 188 yards, par 3 - The longest of the five par 3s at Bloxwich. The bunker in front of the green foreshortens the distance. Take enough club!

Hole 4, 489 yards, par 5 - A long drive to the centre of the fairway brings the green into range for the second shot, but beware of the out of bounds to the left and the water to the right.

Hole 5, 307 yards, par 4 - A tempting tee shot for the bigger hitters but with water to the left and right laying up short might be the best option.

Hole 6, 435 yards, par 4 - The ideal tee shot would shape from right to left avoiding the well-positioned bunker. You will still be required to play an accurate approach to an elevated narrow green.


Take the Course Tour Continued...

Hole 7, 370 yards, par 4 - A drive to the centre of the fairway leaves a testing approach to a treacherous green, sloping from front to back.

Hole 8, 177 yards, par 3 - Another well-bunkered par 3. The green looks deceptively small from the tee, club selection is the key.

Hole 9, 513 yards, par 5 - The longest hole on the course. A well-positioned fairway bunker needs to be avoided with the second shot. An approach below the hole will leave an easier uphill putt.

Hole 10, 344 yards, par 4 - Distance control on the second shot is the key to a birdie opportunity on this long green.

Hole 11, 478 yards, par 5 - A tempting dog-leg from right to left. The green is reachable in two if a bold line is taken from the tee, avoiding the water to the left and the bunker to the right.

Hole 12, 458 yards, par 4 - The most difficult hole on the course. Water guards both the tee shot and the approach to the green. Most would be advised to play safe for a five.

Hole 13, 148 yards, par 3 - The 13th is the shortest hole on the course but is surrounded by bunkers and should not be underestimated. A tee shot to the centre of the green leaves a birdie chance.


Hole 14, 406 yards, par 4 - Trouble awaits a wayward drive. The key to this hole is an accurate tee shot avoiding the trees and the fairway bunker.

Hole 15, 166 yards, par 3 - This green slopes severely from back to front. Club selection is vital to leave an uphill putt.

Hole 16, 406 yards, par 4 - A right-to-left tee shot avoiding the fairway bunker will leave a straightforward approach to a two-tier green.

Hole 17, 184 yards, par 3 - The green slopes severely from left to right, so try to aim a slight fade from the centre of the putting surface. An uphill putt is a definite advantage.

Hole 18, 455 yards,par 4 - A long drive to theright side of the fairway is required to reach the green in two. Beware of the out of bounds beyond the green.

Practice FacilitiesExcellent instruction is nothing without the facilities to put those newly-learnt skills into action, working on them until they become second nature.

Here, again, Bloxwich scores highly for the conscientious golfer looking to maximise their potential and lower their handicap to become the best they can possibly be.

The club’s practice facilities are open to anyone who has paid a green fee. There is a pitching green located to the left of the 1st tee which is perfect for golfers who wish to play longer range pitching shots and bunker shots from short distances.

The small green to the left of the path behind the 18th green is available for practising short chip shots and the excellent putting green located to the right of the 1st tee is perfect for familiarising yourself with the speed of the greens so you don’t have to worry about those costly three-putts during your round.

For those who find time is at a premium, there is a practice net close to the 1st tee, affording the opportunity to loosen up before starting a round.


Becoming a MemberBloxwich is renowned as a friendly club with a wide and varied membership. There are many established groups ready to welcome you who play on a regular basis throughout the week and weekends so you will never be short of having someone to play with.

Members’ GolfMembers at Bloxwich enjoy a full programme of competitions throughout the year, both playing against each other and at home and away against other clubs. Whatever the fixture, matches are always keenly contested but played in a friendly and amicable manner.

Men

For the club’s premier golfers, there is a local scratch league into which Bloxwich enters a team each year, which features competitive singles matchplay against other neighbouring clubs.

When it comes to local rivalries, there is no event more eagerly anticipated each year than the battle for the Baffy between Bloxwich and our friends at Walsall Golf Club.

Play takes place over a weekend, at each club on consecutive days, with the winners being able to proudly display the Baffy – an old golf club – in their clubhouse for the ensuing 12 months.

While it is always fun to win, this really is a fantastic, fun social golfing event enjoyed by players from both teams.

Members’ Golf Continued...

The beauty of golf at Bloxwich is that there is something to appeal to all levels of playing abilities and all those who want to see whether their game holds up under the pressure of representing the club in team competitions can do so.

The West Midlands League, for instance, features matchplay pairs competition, with one of the golfers having to be in the 5-9 handicap bracket and the other with a handicap of between 10 and 15.

For those with higher handicaps still, there is the B Team, whose raison d’être is enjoying friendly, social golf. It is a great opportunity to meet fellow golfers from Bloxwich and other clubs whilst playing some of the best courses in the region.

The B Team is open to all men with active handicaps. It comprises a pool of players of varied abilities and experience, from whom a team of 12 is picked for each fixture. The aim is to give as many players as possible the chance to participate over the course of the season, especially new members and higher handicappers.

Home and away matches are enjoyed throughout the season against some 16 local clubs and fixtures conclude with a formal sit-down meal and often some light-hearted speeches.

Within the club, there are a host of competitions to be played for throughout the season, with the winners of our “Majors” seeing their name go up on the honours board.


Members’ Golf Continued...There is something for everyone, with a mixture of individual and pairs competition and different formats mostly taking place at weekends. One of the most prestigious events is the Club Championship, known as the Walker Cup, which is a scratch competition played over 36 holes.

A singles knockout competition known as the Sanders Cup runs from April through to September, with pairs enjoying a similar competition called the Memorial Cup.

Winter does not stop Bloxwich’s keen golfing fraternity from enjoying the course to the full and the Professional puts on competitions to keep interest going and enable members to maintain active handicaps.

You are never too old to enjoy good golf and a great course and our Seniors play every Wednesday and every Friday, either in their own competitions or against other clubs in a series of friendly matches. They, too, have their own silverware to play for, with the one they all want to win being the Veterans Trophy.

Ladies

The Ladies Section is a friendly and welcoming group, meeting mainly on Tuesdays, to play medal competitions. Thursday mornings are another popular day for ladies to meet and play either 9 holes or 18 holes of golf.

The ladies enter a team in the Scratch League run by the Staffordshire Ladies County Golf Association, which features matches against four other clubs.


They also enter the county’s inter-club knockout events which allows for mid-range handicappers (12-24) and higher handicappers (25-36) to get a taste of playing competitive golf in a team environment.

Mixed golf is very popular at Bloxwich and there are a number of mixed friendly matches which usually finish with a most enjoyable dinner and lots of “banter”. Mixed team-mates often become adversaries for the day in the annual battle of the captains, a popular event contested by teams from the men’s and women’s sections.

One of the major honours board competitions is in fact a mixed pairs competition known as the Squires Trophy, named after one of the founders of the club.

Individually, the Cuthbie Cup, the ladies’ Club Championship,identifies the outstanding Bloxwich lady golfer of the year, and like the men’s equivalent is a 36-hole event.

The ladies have away days organised by the Lady Captain to enjoy golf and a meal at another club and other very sociable events include quizzes, silent auctions and Military Whist which are organised for the winter months.

JuniorsBloxwich has a growing junior section which the club is keen to expand further and there are membership opportunities available for younger players eager to take up the game having seen it on television or for those wishing to expand on skills they already possess.

The club is actively working towards achieving GolfMark accreditation, which is a highly-regarded scheme run by England Golf that recognises beginner and junior-friendly golf clubs.

A keen team of junior organisers are in place, backed up by our dedicated team of professionals who hold a series of coaching sessions throughout the year. Younger golfers at

Bloxwich can learn not only the skills necessary to be able to enjoy the game, but also about course management and rules and etiquette.

The junior section have their own regular competitions and trophies to play for and hold a prize presentation towards the end of the season.

Playing on a full-length course can be a daunting prospect for a youngster who has only recently taken up the game and Bloxwich can offer a beginner junior course and scorecard (special blue tee markers) which is being integrated into the existing club scorecard.

Please call 01922 476593 if you require more details about becoming a junior member.

Handicap certificates must be shown to the Professional or his staff when signing in.

Green fees must be paid before play.

ClubhouseThe clubhouse offers great comfort and a welcoming atmosphere in which to socialise and relax either after a round of golf or as members of the club.

The bar is well stocked with a wide selection of beers, wines, and spirits and a choice of soft drinks.

The clubhouse has Sky Sports, so you can watch all the major sporting events such as the Ryder Cup or Premier League football in comfort. Our

members are also avid horse racing followers and often sit down to enjoy the sport of kings on Saturday afternoons after a round of golf.

Bloxwich also makes password-protected Wi-Fi available to members, guests and visitors, enabling you to take a moment to catch up with those important e-mails.

Whether it’s a quick coffee before a round, a refreshing drink at the 19th with a bar snack or a sumptuous sit-down meal, our friendly accommodating staff provide first class customer service which is sure to make any trip to Bloxwich is a memorable one.

Open CompetitionsBloxwich is an historic golf club with a rich heritage dating back to our founding in 1924. We know we have something special here and nothing gives us greater pleasure than to share the enjoyment of our magnificent course with people who may not have experienced it before.

One of the ways in which we can do this is by staging a number of open competitions throughout the year aimed at golfers from all walks of life and all abilities.

The season normally starts with a Ladies Team Open at the end of May, featuring three per team playing a Stableford format of competition.

June sees two pairs events, one a fourball betterball competition for men and the other a mixed event for players aged 55 and over.

Mixed golf is very popular at Bloxwich and there are Mixed Pairs opens in July and August. July also sees our lone individual open competition, a Stableford event for seniors.

Events may vary slightly from year to year, but you will find details of upcoming events on our website, www.bloxwichgolfclub.com, together with information about how you can reserve your place.

Social ActivitiesWith friendly, approachable members and staff and outstanding off-course facilities, we really feel there is nowhere better to enjoy not only your golf, but everything else that a well-rounded golf club has to offer.

An extensive and varied programme of social events is organised throughout the year, with the aim being that there should be something to appeal to everyone, whatever their taste in entertainment.

These social occasions include the Spring Ball, which is one of the highlights of the year, a black tie evening featuring a sit-down meal followed by musical entertainment in the form of a singer, band or disco.

St George’s Day is also a notable date in the club diary, with golf followed by members getting together in the clubhouse, while another special night recognises all those who have won a competition at some stage during the season.

Members welcome in the New Year together in the form of another black tie event, while the romantics among you will be pleased to know that Valentine’s Day is also marked at the club.

Christmas is a very special time of year and we like to celebrate the event with a children’s party, which is always a delightful occasion in the clubhouse.

Tribute bands and singers always prove to be very popular, as do our regular quiz nights.
